Reggie wants Goldeneye 007 for Wii Virtual Console

Wii Goldeneye Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there Easily inmost gamers’ top five of titles that they’d like to see hit the Wii Virtual Console,GoldenEye 007 was both a critical and commercial success for N64. And Nintendo would “love” to see it come to the VC.

“Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there,” said Nintendo of American president Reggie Fils-Aime to MTV News. “Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we’re exploring all the rights issues.”

Thesituation he’s hinting at isthis: backin 2002Microsoft bought UK based Rare Ltd, the developer behind the James Bond game. Andrights from bothMicrosoft and Rare would have to be given to Nintendo. So far, there’s been no movement at all.

According to Wikipedia,”Goldeneye007sold eight million copies and still retains the distinction of being one of the best first-person shooters to ever be released.” Here’s to hoping all sides can come to an agreement and bring this title where it rightfully belongs.

We're going to be adding a few more talented writers to the Portable Planet menagerie within the next few months.

Also, we haven't forgotten about the layout change; we have an unconfirmed fear that our designer is trapped in an oubliette somewhere between the border of Paraguay and Bolivia. Either that, or he's lazy.
